Manawatu and Whanganui

It's been a pleasure working with you and the team build for our first home. We appreciate all your hard work and guidance. I'm sure you and the team would build not just a house, but a home for more families to come. Thanks so much for everything!

Right from the start the Jennian team made us feel like we had chosen the right building company. Organised, straight to the point, no nonsense approach gave us the confidence to commit to this project with them. Simple processes with weekly updates and always available for a chat. Upfront and open to variations along the way made our life very easy to get the end result we needed. I would build another home with Jennian in the future. Great job team!

Got a new home anniversary greeting card from the team. They also asked us if everything has been going well a year after handover. The build and finish quality are exceptional and the team have guided us every step of the way. We already made wonderful memories in our new home and will continue to create more! Grateful to Jennian Homes Manawatu team - we love our new home!

Our decision to have Jennian Homes build our new house was 100% the right one, as all aspects of the build have been superbly managed. Our journey started with Haydon taking on board our brief for the style of house we wanted and the floor plan layout. Within days he had produced a detailed plan that very closely matched our brief. Subsequently, we worked with him to fine-tune the house plan, and were mightily impressed by his skills in adapting the plan and for the suggestions we made for improvements.
Once the plan was agreed, a fixed price was promptly provided and Jennian took over all components of the build. This meant that all we had to do was select our colour schemes, fixtures, and fittings for our kitchen and bathrooms, flooring materials etc. This process was aided by their helpful consultant. The house construction has been expertly undertaken by Dan, Mal and young Dan. This building team are simply the best. The standard of the build has been of the highest quality. All of the tradesmen involved have likewise been superb. Kylie is a switched on, no nonsense Project Manager, who impressively managed the house build schedule. We enjoyed working with her and very much appreciated her flexibility when we requested some variations to the agreed house plan and her excellent communication.
We thoroughly recommend Jennian Homes to anyone seeking to build in the Manawatu. They are the complete package!

I wish we could give Jennian 10 out of 5 stars. The team have been incredible to work with over the course of our build and beyond. The workmanship is fantastic, our house build came in on time and on budget, even in the midst of the Gib shortages and Covid outbreaks of 2022, which says a lot about their ability to project manage under immense pressure. Haydon, Kylie and Lisa were super accommodating with everything we dreamed up during the process, and we are so proud of the home we have ended up creating. If you are looking for someone to build your home, please give Jennian a call, I could not recommend them highly enough.

From the moment I walked into your show home and met with Haydon, until I was handed the keys on settlement the process and team at Jennian was seamless. The advice and support throughout the build was brilliant and continued communication meant stress levels were kept to a minimum. The start and completion dates were spot on and I was able to make arrangements certain of handover. I am so pleased with my home. The quality of the build and finish is amazing. I am sure many lovely memories will be made in our lovely new home, thank you. (Build completed 2022)

We just wanted to pass on our gratitude for our beautiful, functional, warm and comfortable home you created for our family, of which I'm sitting in writing this up in our relaxed living room.

Thanks for helping us to design a home that met the needs of both of our diverse tastes, the décor is homely and the space is perfect for our adult family to live in harmony. Thanks to the collaborative effort of your teams we were able to design a home that encompassed the views out the back without sacrificing on space and light which was important to us. This is not the first time we have built but the process was faultless on your part, and was smooth from start to finish. We have already recommended Jennian Homes to our friends and would build with you all again in a heartbeat. (Build completed 2019)

If you are considering a new build…. GO JENNIAN! You’ll love the journey too. You hear of people talking about how stressful their builds were… Not with Jennian. We could sit back and enjoy the process. (Build completed 2016)

We are a family business and it was great to work with a like-minded family business too. Words will never be able to express our gratitude to Tarsha and the rest of the Jennian Manawatu team for bringing our dream to life. (Build completed 2016)

We were impressed right from the outset with their professionalism, friendliness and willingness to go the extra mile. The range of products used are of a very high quality which we liked. They made the whole process stress free and it all just ran to plan. It’s a real family business and we are so thankful for all they have done to help make this happen for our family.

We are really enjoying our new home. We fully recommend building with Jennian Homes. They took all the hassle out of the build. From planning stage to decorating. With a 10-year master builders guarantee how could we go wrong. We would be happy to recommend a Jennian home to future homebuilders. (Build completed 2016)
